Selling and serving a superb selection of local, regional, national, and international beers, Fermental also offers an ever-evolving inventory of wines, sake, mead, cider, seltzer, and more.

Featuring a rotating list of draft beers and wines by the glass, Fermental also hosts live music, food trucks, tastings, weekly events, and vendor markets.
